I tried for hours yesterday to catch him, but now he is so upset he is behind a rock and won't come outHaul him out into another tank if you can and try a fungicide -- back when I had to deal with something like this it was goldfish and you used a drop of silver nitrate solution directly on the eye (fish out on wet paper towel top and bottom), and it worked or the fish died.
Your poor fish looks in a bad way. At this point it's worth trying anthing you can throw at him -- general anitbiotic + antifungal, as I am afraid if he's untreated he is going to die. Sorry.

Hi Susan, just googling Melafix suggests it should work. There seems to be a freshwater version, so be sure you have the marine one. I have no experience with it, as I'm very new to marines -- had freshwater for years and years and actually did post-grad work in fish behavioue lo! these many years ago.Hi would dosing my tank with melafix heap??
That sounds good,here are some photos, he is still hanging in thereWe're not that far apart. Maybe we could meet up sometime; I'd be interested to see your tank(s) and show you mine. Ammonia is down today and nitrite up qhite a bit, and I'm ffinally getting a little nitrate, which is good.
How is poor rabbitfish doing?
